Abstract

The derivative argument of the consequences is aimed at proving the incompatibility of certain theories of the laws
of nature in conjunction with physicalism and the existence of moral responsibility. In this text, it is outlined the applicability
of this argument to the most famous theories of the laws of nature. The argument can only be directed to those theories
that are pinched by realism regarding the laws of nature. This text demonstrates that the most promising targets for
the argument are Armstrong’s theory as well as some of the nonreductive theories of the laws of nature.
